1. El circo llegó a mi pueblo en una tarde vacía

   The circus arrived in my town on an empty afternoon

2. Triste marchaba el elenco bajo el sol que ardía

   Sorrowfully the cast marched under the blazing sun

3. Con cuatro payasos y un malabarista,

   With four clowns and a juggler,

4. Un tira cuchillos y un equilibrista.

   A knife thrower and a tightrope walker.

5. Pero al final del desfile me llamó la atención,

   But at the end of the parade, something caught my eye,

6. La tristeza enjaulada de mi primer león.

   The caged sadness of my first lion.

7. Muy distinto a los leones que había imaginado,

   Very different from the lions I had imagined,

8. Este león era triste, pelón, demacrado.

   This lion was sad, bald, and emaciated.

9. Una nube de moscas le revoloteaba

   A cloud of flies buzzed around him

10. A su paso un olor insoportable dejaba.

    With each step, he left behind an unbearable smell.

11. Un payaso lo anunciaba

    A clown was announcing it

12. Viejo y ronco el altavoz

    Old and hoarse, the loudspeaker

13. A todos nos invitaba

    He invited us all

14. A ver a la bestia feróz

    To see the fierce beast

15. COMPREN SUS BOLETOS SEÑORES

    BUY YOUR TICKETS, GENTLEMEN

16. Y LLEGUEN TEMPRANO

    AND ARRIVE EARLY

17. A VER LA BESTIA MAS FERÓZ

    TO SEE THE FIERCEST BEAST

18. DEL CONTINENTE AFRICANO

    FROM THE AFRICAN CONTINENT

19. Erigieron la carpa en un solar baldío

    They set up the tent in an empty lot

20. Y fui a ver la función

    And I went to see the show

21. Con un tío mío.

    With my uncle.

22. Vi al malabarista y al payaso penco,

    I saw the juggler and the goofy clown,

23. Pero el viejo león no estaba en el elenco.

    But the old lion wasn't in the show.
